Hey Bill, I would just like to say that I'm glad that you're working on this, and I would really *love* to see a pthreads JDK port for FreeBSD. If there's anything I can do with my limited resources, then let me know. However, I assume this doesn't mean our own JDK 1.2.2 porting effort will halt, I remember Greg talking about a patch set 11 ? -- Ernst Bill Huey wrote: > > On Fri, Feb 23, 2001 at 03:13:38PM +0600, Max Khon wrote: > > While I highly appreciate the work Bill is doing I am not sure that > > binaries for FreeBSD will be available.
